yeah, its like playing 3 final fantasy games back to back at this point, and soon to be a fourth. if you want to play a final fantasy game its an incredible strength, because the main story of that game is one continuously long quest line that started 5 years ago and is extended every couple of months and is generally pretty good (and imo is the best FF from a storytelling perspective). if you don't want final fantasy in your MMO though then RIP you, especially during the couple of rough patches early on that are fairly explicitly filler that made it easier on the 2.0 team cleaning up the mess that was 14-1

they sell story skips now that get you up to whichever expansion you want to start at, but that just exacerbates the problem because you'll have zero hope at following along if you take that option. there's stuff in the most recent patch MSQ that is still directly following on from things that happened 5 years ago. 5.0 is going to include a new game+ feature to hopefully help skippers catch up on some of the more important quests but its a Big Game, I think the MSQ is up to like 600+ quests long now

There is no way that isn't a mess.

It's funny to have watched the Titanfall fanbase go from mocking the first game to getting defensive about the sequel's bad sales numbers and now having to hype up a battle royale game.

It's funny that the gaming community keeps talking about the poor programmers possibly losing their jobs at EA, but when it came out that Gamestop is probably gonna die there was a celebration if anything.

I don't have a clue how Anthem will sell, I thought there was no way Fallout 76 would falter but I was really wrong there.

Anthem does seem way more competent than FO76.

Anthem will probably just be mediocre and get ok sales (so a total failure in EA's eyes since everything needs to do fortnite numbers)

Competence isn't always a selling point, Fallout had a big name and a big marketing push.

That's not what I literally said, no.

But it is pretty much what I'm getting at. The job security of strangers is only important when they're making a video game I want to buy.

Calling it dlc is technically incorrect I guess, but lots of microtransactions aren't very "micro" anyway so the term itself isn't great.

At least there doesn’t seem to be a sex mod?

I think with Bethesda games a lot of clothing mods are built on top of another mod that includes nudity for some reason.
